Julia asked Martha Hall Kelly:

I soooooo desperately want to win your book for the giveaway!!!!!!! I've gotten hooked on the many books written by survivors. it's inconceivable that this was a true time in our history! How many nights of sleep have you lost while writing these books?

Martha Hall Kelly Hi Julia!
Yes, it is inconceivable this was a true time--but it's great people are remembering. Only a few nights--I was too focused on writing and researching, since I felt I owed these women to represent them well.

Not a question? I just HAVE to tell you... Lost Roses is a TREASURE. I loved Lilac Girls and consider it a favorite but Lost Roses was even more incredible. WOW! Seriously, LR has haunted me since I finished it in the BEST way! Thank you for sharing your talent with the world!

Kim. E. asked Martha Hall Kelly:

This is not a question, but a thank you!? Thank you for noticing my review of Lilac Girls and liking it, which made me happy today, but thank you more for writing this incredible book. I also appreciate your blog and the history behind the research you completed to write this novel.

Charlotte Gonzalez asked Martha Hall Kelly:

I'm 13 and love chemistry, biology, reading, and writing. When did you know you wanted to be a writer? Was that your calling as a child, or did it come later in life? I want to write novel (for fun, but maybe publish it) but don't know how to start. Do you have any helpful advice? I don't want to be a writer (I hope to be a doctor) but I like writing and am curious about writers' lives. I liked The Golden Doves a lot.
